Applies To: Windows SharePoint Services 3.0

 

Turning on alerts in a Web application enables the Web application to send e-mail alerts to users. By using the Alert Me link, users can choose to be notified when documents, document libraries, list items, or lists are updated.

By using the Maximum number of alerts that a user can create box, you can choose to limit the number of alerts that a user can create. To some extent, limiting the number of alerts that a user can create controls how many alerts are sent by the Web application.
